The eighteenth century began with the absolutism of the Sun King and the pervasive presence of empires like the English and Russian, and ended with the figures of Napoleon and the independence of the United States of America.This transformation was made possible by three distinct, and almost simultaneous, revolutions: the American, the French, and the Industrial Revolution.These revolutions were based on two solid pillars: the Enlightenment, which owed much of its foundation ...

The seventeenth century was the century of the great scientific revolution, with the inductive and experimental methods developed by Bacon and Galileo, the discoveries of optics, Kepler's laws, Descartes's philosophical system, the ideas of Pascal and Spinoza, and, finally, the great work of Newton.The same century was also pervaded by the destruction and disease caused by the Thirty Years' War, a conflict that tore Europe apart, almost completely annihilating the population of Germ...

The colonization of the Americas, Protestantism, and the Catholic Counter-Reformation are the three pillars of the sixteenth century around which the diverse human experiences of individuals unfold.In Spain, entire families of colonists and explorers found themselves having to deal with the destruction of pre-Columbian civilizations by the conquistadors, and the blunder of Charles V's Universal Empire was not unanimously approved.Few would seek a balance with those population...

The century marking the transition from the Middle Ages to the modern era opens with a feudal legacy stemming from the internal divisions of France and England, still embroiled in the Hundred Years' War.Between mutual betrayals and the mystical figure of Joan of Arc, this historical transition marks the arrival of gunpowder in Europe, marking one of the world's epochal changes.Along with it, the invention of movable type printing and the fall of the Eastern Empire pave the wa...

"Once Upon a Time in America" is Sergio Leone's latest film, what the director himself defined as "my cinema".With a very troubled gestation, so much so that it took fifteen years from the first idea to the final realization, and with an overall duration much longer than the normal extension of a cinematographic film, this film turns into a discussion on time, in a way of transposing, with the infinite wisdom of those who know how to mix music and photography, scenography and color,...

This manual explains the fundamental concepts for understanding natural gas pricesIn particular, the following topics are covered:what is natural gas, what are the reference markets and prices, what are the fundamentals of gas based on production, consumption, exports and stocks, what influences the price and insights into the financial instruments available. The obvious and obvious conclusion will be that natural gas is a very particular raw material with peculiarities not f...

No matter how much one hides or isolates oneself from the rest of society, the impetus of events carries within it a power that can drag each individual along the inevitable course of history.They will experience this clearly in a village with outdated ideas located in the far south of Burgundy during the reign of the Franks in the seventh century, and likewise, the segment of the Lombard people attempting to distance themselves from the ancestral division between Arianism and Catho...

This book explores much of advanced mathematics, starting from the milestone given by mathematical analysis and moving on to differential and fractal geometry, mathematical logic, algebraic topology, advanced statistics, and numerical analysis.At the same time, comprehensive insights about differential and integral equations, functional analysis, and advanced matrix and tensor development will be provided.With the mathematical background exposed, it will be possible to unders...

In this book, exercises are carried out regarding the following physics topics:quantum mechanics and solutions of Schrodinger's equationoperator vision and spinmulti-particle systemsquantum field theory

Servio Italico's choice to break with his family's traditions will give rise to a lineage that, for five generations, will walk alongside the history of the first century.From the defeat of Teutoburg to the conquest of Britain, from the death of Octavian Augustus to the fire of Rome, from the eruption of Vesuvius to the first campaign of Dacia, men and women will find themselves in the presence of the founding idea of the Roman Empire, shaken by novelties and evolutions in an attemp...
